Set in the popular village of Groombridge, this period mid-terrace cottage blends character features with practical living for a young family or professional couple. The property offers a cosy sitting room with exposed brick fireplace, a separate dining room, and three upstairs bedrooms arranged over a modest footprint. Off-street parking and a generous, secluded rear garden with an outbuilding add valuable outdoor space rarely found with terraced village homes.
The house is Victorian-era (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and internal insulation; double glazing is present though the install date is unknown. The accommodation is well appointed but compact — total floor area is approximately 786 sq ft — and there is a single family bathroom. The situation close to well-regarded state and independent schools, low local crime, and an affluent, prospering-countryside community makes this an attractive choice for buyers prioritising location and village life.
Practical considerations include the property’s small overall size and potential maintenance needs typical of older cottages. Buyers should note the internal insulation on solid walls and unclear glazing age when considering long-term running costs or refurbishment. Broadband and mobile signal are average; there is no flood risk and tenure is freehold with affordable council tax.
Overall, this cottage offers straightforward, characterful village living with a large private garden and easy access to amenities and top schools. It will suit buyers looking for a charming, manageable home with scope for sympathetic updating rather than those needing generous internal space or modern, turnkey specification.
